September saw quite a few firsts. Lauren's first day of preschool. Nicholas' first Aqua Tots lesson. Nana and Pompa's first trip to Hawaii. And the first time we all ignored the extra spit on Uncle Carl's birthday cake! Thanks for the awesome help, Lauren!

During the Calgary trade show, our family took in the Calgary Zoo. It's a wonderful place with many exotic animals. Lauren liked the hippo's butt (not shown), among many other things. Trevor took this beautiful picture of a magestic gorilla. Hmmmm, I wonder what he was thinking.
